BBB4 Sitrep
Since I am at home, here's a sitrep on the BBQ. Things are going quite well in Hammond. Gilles and company have set up a complete military kitchen and served supper about an hour or so ago. The food was fantastic! Roast pork, salad, small potatoes, mushrooms and onions were on the menu. There will be no weight lost this weekend.
The boys (and a few girls) were setting up hootchies/tents/or unpacking their airstream trailers (yes, one set of hardy souls are really roughing it this weekend) as I was leaving. Most were into the beer and all were telling tall tales of conquests, restoration projects and things CMP. Tomorrow, Gilles et cie, will be slinging the hash for breakfast just after sun up. Bob, a volunteer and I will be bringing three trucks to the big field in the first ever Hammond CMP Convoy. The three trucks will join the other mil vehs already parked there. I will be camping out tomorrow night and will send a sitrep via mobile device if the time and beer permit. Sorry! No photos (yet).

I was hoping I was going to get up there this afternoon, but right now it doesn't look like it's going to happen. If I can make it so, I shall ring BooBee's cell before I hit the road - otherwise, you guys have a great time, and take lots of pics! This definitely sounds like the event of the year (so far!)...

A big THANK YOU to Bob, Gilles and all for all the hard work to make this a great event. Bob sure had lots to do cutting grass and so on to prepare the site. Gilles and his family went all out to put on great meals. When Brian, Wilf and I arrived Saturday morning it was no problem to throw on bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes and toast. Just like that! You can see in the first photo the kitchen trailer. This was Saturday evening when Bob was BBQ'ing the steaks to perfection. Gilles wife had the baked potatoes, fried onions and mushrooms and two different salads. Notice Stewart casually working his way up the line. He started at the back.
 The second photo is the man with his barbeque and the piles of red meat waiting to be cooked.Barry

Here we are loading up the buses for the tour to the world famous "Hammond Barn".
The first load getting ready is Rob Clarke, Mrs Tonner, Brian Gough and Mark Tonner. The second load getting ready is the driver Gordon Yeo, (his best view), Charlie Fitton, the ever smiling Stewart Loy and old grumpy himself, Wilf Alexander.
